OP doesn't seem like he has all the tools, I'm answering accordinly... Of course if u have a tower to hold the engine in place u can do it, which I have plenty of tools to do it. And if working with blocks is having the proper tools I hope u never open a shop... You will have blocks and bricks as Jack stands and emergency jacks as your lifts.

OP the proper way of changing the oil pan gasket is by holding the engine in place with a brace on top, dropping the cross member and be very careful with the brake lines. It's not an hour job so it's not that easy.

As for the blocks of wood that is what I used to improvise a long time ago before I got a crossbar, i'm just giving him a better option than removing the engine

Or he can drop the engine out and put it on a engine stand

. If your smart it will work and be safe considering he has jack stand and a working jack.

This is why I put a question mark in there! It was a question not saying you did. And I thought it had a cam sensor just couldn't see it so figured it didn't have one. Once I cleaned The engine I saw it lol. My bad
No matter what they oil pan gasket is a bitch to do. Not a civic that is right there and then. I really hate those 3800 oil pan gaskets too.
like the ones on the montanas and impalas.
those are a bitch straight up and no blocks or stands will help u.
